Either your crown race is the wrong size and is loose, your bearing races could be in backwards or, more likely, the MX2 has come loose. They are a basic headset and don't lock very well. Try a Tioga Beartrap II (around £25) or an Epoch headset (around £40). But make sure you buy the right size Epoch, they do a road bike size too and although it is 1" the cups will not fit your bike. It must say BMX on the box.Check that all the bits are in the right way round first before forking out for a new headset.
I had the same problem the bottom cup wobbled. I fitted a better headset and now it's fine.

Is this a part that I can buy as a single spare part?It should be part of the headset. You are normally best not to mix them up from a different headset. Nick is right I have had the same problem with MX2 headsets. I use Beartrap 2 headsets now as the just work. No messing about. They are real tight tolerance.
Hope you get it sorted
